gotcha, it looks real good though

Those are nice. They remind me of hockey for some reason, which is good because it makes our team look tough as nails.

Those are really nice, good work

I like the colors a lot (and I would like to see white, gray, and even green versions if you get time) but I have to admit I kinda hate the side panel. Maybe it's too busy or something... I like everything else though.

I had the same hockey thought. I like them.

Maybe it's because it kinda looks like two hockey sticks with a puck in between? :lol:

That was not intentional. Don't get too attached though. I'm redoing this in illustrator and I'm having a hell of a time getting the side detail to vectorize. It's super jaggy. The rest of it looks soo much cleaner though. I knew I should have started it in Illustrator.

Someone from the front office needs to hire you, Funk. Great work.

In light of the news that we'll be getting black alternate jerseys, here is my final mock. The original files are vectorized Illustrator files and over 20 MB, so these have been scaled down. For some reason they scaled a little fuzzy.

Thats nice. Much more streamlined.

Those are badass funk. That would easily be the best uniform in the NBA. Too bad the real ones won't come close to yours.

I hope you are sending that directly to the wolves marketing team... can't be that hard to reach them...

In the German Bundesliga (Soccer) one team (Cottbus I believe) had a novel idea of letting the fans design jerseys much like Funk has done and then the one with the most votes was actually produced and the team used them as home jerseys. At first I was like "WTF" - but afterall it is the fans who are expected to buy the damn things and therefore they should have a say what they spend their money on!

On a side note: Between home / away / alternative / retro / St. Paddy's jerseys - what is the largest number of different jerseys any one team in the NBA has? Surely adding a "fan created" jersey shouldn't be a problem? Especially if it were only to be used in a couple of games...

Thanks guys, and no unfortunately I won't be sending it in now. Not with the news of them producing the black alternate. I would have to guess that the process is well underway, if not completed already. Might as well have you guys look and critique them instead.

So let's hope the actual ones are more classic looking. It sounds like they will be.

its not bad, but not sure what I think about that paw print. It reminds me of those tattoos I always see on bootylicious black girls here in the ghetto (I live circa de ghetto)

Also makes me think of Missouri Tigers logo

Those are sick! I hope they are closer to your jerseys than to what we have now.

My only request is to keep the rounded pointy numbers. Its a nice touch that isn't ugly or obnoxious AND no one else has it.

Sorry, as I said last time, I'm sticking with the numbers I have. It still offers the pointed look that no one else has, but it's not nearly as cartoon-like.

I applaud your effort! You did a really nice job on these. For some reason the sides just keep reminding me of military stripes. Not a fan of that. I actually like the blue on the current logo too, but the hardwood classics is my favorite jersey.

Those are what Batman would wear if he played basketball!
